(loosely) A contradiction in terms. Historically, an oxymoron was a paradox with a point, where the contradiction seems absurd at first glance, and yet is deliberate, its purpose being to underscore a point or to draw attention to a concealed point.
By far the most massive planet in our solar system, Jupiter features giant hurricanes, auroras, abstract artistic cloudswirls, and maybe even a solid core. It also protects Earth by gravitationally clearing the solar system of asteroids and comets.
Jupiter is a very big planet, it has a lot of mass. It is therefore able to capture and hold all gases, including Hydrogen-the lightest gas. Earth is not massive enough to hold Hydrogen in its atmosphere, hydrogen gas escapes from the surface as the Earths gravity is not strong enough.nswer by RoryHem. Confidence votes 13.0K. Jupiter is a gas planet, meaning that it is mainly made from gas, rather than having a clear rocky surface. The atmosphere on Jupiter just gets thicker and thicker the deeper you go into the planet, while for Earth, there is an atmosphere, but then a clear rocky surface.
